  • How to brew beer in a coffee maker, using only materials commonly found on a modestly sized oceanographic research vessel
  • How to build a canoe from scratch on a graduate student stipend
  • Anti-shark stereotypes in “River Monsters”
  • 10 reasons why marine mammals aren’t as cute as you think they are
